that placed all fear at defiance; while in front
the fire, although edging down towards them,
approached at a pace so slvty that they knew
it would not reach the load. until perhaps
hours after they had attained - their journey's
end. At length the party subsided again into
silence. occupying themselves in gazing on the
magnificent spectacle presented by the lurid
